NCUB led a focused, member-only roundtable exploring how UK universities and businesses are working together to develop future-ready talent. Drawing on the latest Collaboration Progress Monitor data, we examined how well partnerships are addressing skills needs, placements, and workforce readiness.

This session offered a unique opportunity to shape the narrative of NCUB’s influential State of the Relationship report and inform future policy to strengthen talent pipelines.

Attendees benefitted from:

  • Getting a first look at new CPM findings on skills and talent development
  • A space to discuss challenges, gaps, and opportunities in university-business collaboration
  • A chance to shape policy recommendations and the framing of this year’s report

This session was designed for senior university leaders and analysts involved in research, innovation, and engagement strategy, including:

  • Pro-Vice-Chancellors for Education
  • Directors of Graduate Employability or Careers
  • Heads of Student Enterprise or Business Engagement

Session format:

  • Welcome and introduction
  • Presentation of CPM findings on talent and skills
  • Open discussion on key challenges and opportunities
  • Wrap-up and next steps
